Team up for Three Peaks challenge

on 17 January 2012

Do you work in a great team? If so, this is the ideal event for you and your colleagues. Bridge2Aid, (B2A) the dental and community development charity working in the Mwanza region of North West Tanzania, has arranged a fantastic fundraising event for teams of three to six people.

Your team is challenged to walk the Yorkshire Three Peaks in under 12 hours.

The spectacular route is roughly 24 miles long, taking in the summits of Pen-y-ghent (694 metres), Whernside (736 metres) and Ingleborough (723 metres). That makes approximately 1,600 metres of ascent and descent.

The event takes place on Saturday 31 March and is being run for B2A by Eight Point Two, a specialised organiser of challenging events who will provide qualified instructors, marshals for the mountains, communication systems and full support.

Completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge in 12 hours is no easy task and will require the right preparation, support and lots of determination. Participants should do some pre-event training – walking, of course, as well as swimming or cycling.

The cost of registration is £20 per person and teams must commit to raise at least £200 per person before the event.

Practice Plan and IDH have already entered two teams each and there have been verbal commitments from several other companies in the dental industry.

Why not enter your team to tackle the physical challenge while enjoying spectacular Yorkshire scenery – as well as raising vital funds to help Bridge2Aid’s essential work in Tanzania?
